History

Historical Context

The Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000, signed into law on December 21, deregulated over-the-counter derivatives, allowing entities like the CME Group to innovate in financial products. This deregulation contributed to the 2008 financial crisis, leading to increased scrutiny and calls for regulation, culminating in the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, which aimed to enhance oversight of the derivatives market.
